Sample local Heroku/Django development environment using foreman
DATABASE_URL=postgres://USERNAME:[email protected]/DATABASE
MEMCACHE_SERVERS=127.0.0.1:11211
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings.development.local
port: 8000
procfile: Procfile-development
Running "foreman start" will run start a memcached instance, Django's runserver, watch for SASS/Compass changes, watch for Coffeescript changes.
Modify Procfile-development to fit your needs.
Currently you can't change what type of term signals get pushed to each process in foreman, so if you run run_gunicorn instead of runserver, it has problems quitting because it gets an incorrect signal.
web: python manage.py runserver "0.0.0.0:$PORT" --settings "$DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"
memcached: memcached -m 64 -v
sass: compass --watch
coffeescript: coffee --watch --compile
